In this meditation we contemplate the nature of the mind. The mind cannot turn towards its essential nature in the way that it turns towards an object. In order to know itself the mind has to relax its attention from objects and allow its attention to sink back into itself. It doesn’t go forward towards itself but rather sinks backwards, or inwards, or self-wards, into its own essence, awareness itself.
